JAY GOULD'S DAUGHTER

On a Monday morning it began to rain,
Around the bend came a passenger train.
On the bumpers was Hobo John,
He's a good old hobo, but he's dead and gone.
He's dead and gone.
He's dead and gone.
He's a good old hobo, but he's dead and gone.

Charlie Snyder was a good engineer.
He told his fireman not to fear,
"All you needed was water and coal.
Put your head out the window, watch the drivers roll ... (etc.)"

Jay Gould's daughter said before she died,
"There is one more road that I'd like to ride."
"Tell me, Daughter, what could that be?"
"It's the Sountern California on the Sante Fe ..."
